Gangra Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I undestand we have many emotes and animations we can use. But I fail to see the reason my character should stand still like a statue while no commands are giving? Every MMO with quality gives you an idle animation for each race/class. This would be a great feature to work later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevoli Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Unprompted aka idle? Name them, I'm curious. Aion for one, you can buy custom idle animations from a vendor in that game. Rift has random idle animations, as well as Tera and LotRo, I'm sure there are plenty others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaimiIflya Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Well, the game does have an idle animation... because obviously, the character isn't in a T-pose, what would be no idle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, of course, and the game has cross server LFG tools, it's called a forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevoli Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Force users will occasionally twirl their sabers, if drawn. I have seen that, you have to have your weapon out to get some animation going, otherwise you look like a statue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackavaar Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Unprompted aka idle? Name them, I'm curious. CoH, CO, STO, AO, DDO, Aion, Rift and WoW to name a few. All of those games have some form of idle animation. Not all of them have specific idle animations for each class or race, but they do have idle animations. I agree we need some idle animations here. Not just for players but for companions too. It just looks wrong when my Bounty Hunter is standing at attention like he's in Boot Camp while Mako stares at him like he's a Big Salad.

Definitely TOR really makes me appreciate the little things other studios have done to give their MMOs more detail. Each race in WoW has it's own animation I believe and gender too. Just look ( .

Morpholinium Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 If you really want something, a number of the animated emotes will loop until you move. /gloat for instance. Nothing that kicks in automatically though. In my experience all we usually get from auto file animations is a yawn, stretch, look around, or foot tap.

Blacktongue Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Wait a minute, another simple thing that adds to the game world that TOR doesn't have? No way! Honestly on its own I could give a flying F about an idle animation. But these little things add up to give life to the game. TOR you are so bland.

IIII-IIII-IIII Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Whomever created the Smuggler's regen animation should be put in charge of this request/task. Smuggler's have the best, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandabutt Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Idle animations would be a nice touch. It does get a bit annoying after a while seeing yourself just stand still all the time... some of the companions have minor idle anims though... like Vette for example... she ocationaly stretches her legs abit when idle... but beyond that nothing... just some small movements is all we ask really.

Syylara Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) My character, as I'm typing this, has a very subtle breath movement and occasionally shrugs/straightens a shoulder, shifts weight back and forth from one leg to the other or glances from side to side. Are you saying yours doesn't do these things? Edited February 18, 2012 by Syylara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radubadu Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 The complaining must be coming close to the end if this is now a point of focus. I get the issues people are having with bugs (though I've not witnessed any) but now you're just nitpicking. If you're that annoyed by something as small as this you're clearly not enjoying the game... STOP PLAYING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levram Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Totally support the author of this thread. Give us auto-idles with non-drawn weapon. Holy necroed thread Batman! There are idle animations in the game when your character is standing still with no weapon drawn. Occasionally they will turn their head to the right and left to look around as will as shift their weight from one foot to another. There's even a sound effect for the weight shift as your character moves their feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
